Avis launches Avis Delivers

Customers can now request same day car hire to a location of their choice

Leading car rental company Avis UK, has announced the launch of its enhanced delivery and collection service, ‘Avis Delivers’. Designed to make car hire more convenient, the improved service allows customers to have their hire car delivered direct to the door and collected at the end of the hire period.

Whatever the location, Avis’ enhanced delivery and collection service gives customers the flexibility to have a car delivered and collected for just £10 each way by booking online, or making a simple phone call. Booking before 12pm also guarantees the vehicle can be delivered the same day making ‘Avis Delivers’ the ideal solution for those that are time poor, simply want to make a last minute booking or even enjoy an early weekend escape with delivery direct to the workplace.

For customers that request the delivery and collection service, all the paperwork is also completed over the phone prior to the car arriving, ensuring the customer’s car hire experience is quick, convenient and hassle free.
